In order to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Xiao He took off the clothes of the high priest of Southern Xinjiang after returning to the room, put on a set of light blue robes as usual, and walked out of the room. Dark night had fallen, and fishing fires flickered on the sea. The simple and kind-hearted fishermen gathered in a circle on the beach, with a beautiful bonfire in the center. People were singing and dancing. The smell of grilled fish mixed with the strong aroma of wine spread out, once again making Xiao He feel so comfortable that he forgot about himself.
Xiao He followed the Dugu brothers and sisters and quickly blended into the crowd.
People kept drinking and singing until late at night, until the number of people gradually became less and less. Xiao He and Dugu Huntian got up together, carrying wine bottles, and sat down on the beach far away from the crowd. Looking at the quiet sea, Dugu Huntian suddenly felt He opened his mouth and asked: "Brother Xiao He, do you know what is on the other side of the sea?"
Xiao He shook his head and said: "This sea is too vast. I think there is still the sea on the other side, right?"
Dugu Huntian shook his head slightly and said, "No, there is another continent on the other side of the sea."
"Another continent?" Xiao He looked at Dugu Huntian strangely and asked.
Dugu Huntian nodded again, picked up his wine bottle, shook it, raised his head and took a sip, and continued: "Yes, in the south of the human continent, another continent separated by a sea from here, my hometown. "
In Xiao He's heart, he had already been mentally prepared. He had always felt that Dugu Huntian's life experience was very mysterious. He had even felt that Dugu Huntian was not like a person from his own continent. He stopped speaking and wanted Dugu Huntian to continue talking. .
Dugu Huntian also continued to speak: "The continent we live in now is limited to the eastern part of the Fengqiong Continent, and in the south of the Fengdome Continent, there is another continent that forms its own system. There are two major forces. One is composed of the Nine. The human race is made up of big families, and the demon race is on the other side.”
Xiao He's heart sank again.
"It's strange." Dugu Huntian glanced at Xiao He's expression and continued: "The Monster Race is a race that is neither a monster nor a human being. The world only thinks that the Monster Race is a legend, but few people know about this race. It still exists today, but it’s just in the south of the sea. The nine major families of humans have always been at odds with the demon clan. In the past hundred years, they have gradually been unable to suppress the momentum of the demon clan’s development. If the nine major families are annihilated, then the demon clan will It will definitely launch an invasion against the humans in the eastern part of the continent.”
"Wouldn't it happen now?" Xiao He asked curiously.
Dugu Huntian explained: "The boundless sea in front of us is a natural barrier that protects the eastern part of the continent. If we don't completely get rid of the constraints of the nine major families, the monster clan will not dare to enter this sea area rashly."
"What about you, brother?" Xiao He asked hesitantly.
Dugu Huntian replied: "When I was very young, I was escorted by dozens of masters from the family, bypassing the sea, and living on the mainland through another way. That was a road that the demon clan would not dare to enter no matter what. , for the sake of my brother and sister, all the masters in the family died, leaving only my brother and sister to continue their hard training on this continent."
"Paying such a huge price, for what?" Xiao He asked.
Dugu Huntian continued: "For a sword manual! The ancestor of my Dugu clan is the number one swordsman in this continent. He left a Dugu sword manual. The first half is still in the southern part of the continent. According to the family elders, According to deduction, the second half of the sword manual was left in the eastern part of the continent, so it is my mission, brother, to find the second half of the sword manual!"
"What can I do for my brother?" Xiao He asked, expressing the real doubts in his heart.
Dugu Huntian paused, and finally said: "The high priest deduced that I would meet you, and told me that you are the key to finding the Dugu Sword Manual!"
"Why?" Xiao He asked even more strangely.
Dugu Huntian shook his head and replied: "The high priest cannot answer this question."
Looking at Dugu Huntian, who has been shouldering the family mission since he was a child and practicing thousands of miles away from his hometown. The pressure he bears can be imagined. Xiao He spoke and said firmly: "No matter what the reason is, my younger brother is willing to go with my elder brother, through mountains of swords and seas of fire, without hesitation." .”
Dugu Huntian also looked at Xiao He, feeling uncontrollably grateful in his heart.
The two men looked at the tranquil sea together again, and Dugu Huntian said: "When the ship is built tomorrow, we will set off."
"It must be a wonderful trip." Xiao He said with a relaxed smile.
The sea breeze invited the Buddha and the warm wine warmed his body. Xiao He fell asleep quickly and very comfortably that night. When he woke up again, it was the early morning of the second day. Most of the fishermen who had been working at sunrise had gone out to fish, and there were more than ten people left in the fishing village. A young man is building a boat on the shore using the materials Dugu Huntian took from yesterday's thick tree.
Dugu Huntian's method of collecting materials is also very simple. The fishermen put forward size requirements, and Dugu Huntian used his flying sword to take out the right size planks from the wood. Such a unique method made Xiao He couldn't help but smile, and offered his own Dragon Valley Sword, join in.
Busy from day to night, during this period, Dugu Yixue has been helping the busy people bring water and food. In her spare time, she sat on a deck and tilted her head to look at her brother Xiao He. The sea breeze blew, and Dugu Yixue Xue found that when she looked at the two men in front of her, she felt a very satisfied feeling in her heart, which was a feeling that only family members could bring her.
Xiao He would also look at Dugu Yixue when he was busy. After last night, when he saw this woman who had haunted him again, in addition to longing and admiration, he also felt a kind of sincere admiration. This experience between his brother and sister made him feel relieved. It is a huge pressure on a man, not to mention that such a quiet woman has to bear such pressure since she was a child, which is even more admirable.
At night, a large ship was finally built. Almost all the young people who built the ship dispersed. Only Xiao He was left, but he became even busier. He kept circling the ship with the Dragon Valley Sword in his hand. Dugu Yixue felt in her heart Strange, I couldn't help but step forward and call Xiao He's name: "Xiao He, what are you doing?"
When he heard Dugu Yixue calling his name, Xiao He finally stopped, his body hovered in mid-air, and turned around to look at Dugu Yixue with a silly grin.
There was a beautiful sunset in the background. A handsome and gentlemanly boy looked at her and smiled. Dugu Yixue looked at the scene in front of her and was lost in thought for a few seconds. She calmed down before continuing to ask: "Are you on the boat?" Is the carving a defensive charm?"
"No." Xiao He shouted at Dugu Yixue.
"What is that?" Dugu Yixue also asked forcefully.
"Decoration!" Xiao He said seriously, not forgetting to giggle a few more times, and then continued to fall into the creation alone.
Looking at Xiao He who was busy around the big ship, a flying sword was used to carve patterns on the hull of the ship. While Dugu Yixue felt dumbfounded, she also felt that the big boy in front of her also had a cute side.
Apart from joking, Dugu Huntian and Xiao He did not forget to join forces to place several defensive restrictions on the hull, so that they can go to sea with confidence tomorrow.
Early the next morning, before the sun had completely risen from the sea level, Xiao He and Dugu brother and sister got up together. Today was the day they went to sea. They came to the shore together and found that the villagers in the fishing village had come to see them off. Many young people had already helped them launch the big boat into the water, and more people clasped their hands together, faced the sea, and murmured in whispers. They didn’t know what they were saying. This was because they were praying to the sea god to protect the people who went out to sea. You can come back safely.
The three people were moved, and they boarded the big boat. The big boat moved forward slowly. Looking at the three people walking away slowly, the simple villagers of the fishing village waved goodbye vigorously, and their eyes also burst into tears. .
There is indeed a big difference between the sea and the land. With Dugu Huntian and Xiao He's cultivation, the ship can't travel less than a hundred nautical miles, and they can no longer see the coastline, and the destination they want to go on this trip is even more A faraway place, far beyond the imagination of mortals.
According to the deduction by the high priest of the Dugu family, the clues about the second half of the Dugu sword spectrum are located on an isolated island in the depths of the sea. The high priest only gave a general direction, but not a clear location, so their trip required How long it will take and whether it will be successful are still unknown.
With the blessing of Dugu Huntian and Xiao He's defensive restrictions, the ship can be considered smooth sailing on the sea, and ordinary wind and waves cannot shake the ship in the slightest.
The big ship continued to move forward, gradually exceeding two hundred nautical miles. It was no longer in the offshore area. Generations of fishermen in the fishing village had never reached such a distant area.
None of the three people had a map in their hands. Dugu Huntian controlled the ship and found the direction based on the descriptions of the high priest in his memory. Xiao He and Dugu Yixue stood on the deck together, facing the wind and looking at the endless sea, but they were not anxious at all. .
When the big ship sailed five hundred nautical miles away, the sea was finally no longer dead silent. The three of them all felt that at the bottom of the big ship, unknown monsters had begun to swim around the hull. , as if waiting for an opportunity to take action.
"Do you feel it?" Dugu Yixue asked Xiao He in a low voice.
Xiao He nodded, smiled very relaxedly, and said, "I feel it."
"What is it?" Dugu Yixue asked.
"It's food." Xiao He replied with a smile.
Hearing what Xiao He said, Dugu Huntian also smiled. He knew in his heart that Xiao He and himself had already reached the third level of cultivation, and they would not take it lightly when they encountered an average monster. .
Yes, Xiao He's cultivation level improved again, after he was rescued from the Demon Lord's formation by Shi Jiu that day. Originally, Xiao He felt that he was going to die in the formation no matter what, but somehow he was rescued by Shijiu inexplicably. Moreover, the serious injuries he suffered had recovered as before when he woke up. Everything seemed like a scene. Like a dream.
Shijiu did not answer Xiao He in too many details at that time and left in a hurry. Xiao He also asked Qin Xinyu about this matter. Qin Xinyu only said that Shijiu received a letter from Zhenwu Shenzong, so he helped deliver it. After arriving, he first went to the Tianchi clan, and then found the edge of the Demon Lord's formation based on the tribe's description. When he heard Qin Xinyu said that Xiao He had entered the formation, Shijiu flew in directly to look for it. When he came out carrying the fainted Xiao He, He just told the Tianchi tribe that Xiao He got lost at the edge of the formation, did not reach the center of the formation, and was only slightly injured.
Shi Jiu said so, Qin Xinyu naturally did not ask any more questions, but the amazing thing is that after Xiao He woke up, he found that his realm had improved again, and there was a trace of new attribute of mana in his dantian, which was " wind".
The unknown sea, the unheard of monsters, all these unpredictable dangers made Xiao He very excited. He was gearing up, wishing that a monster would appear in front of him now to warm him up.
But Xiao He didn't know that the dangers of this trip had far exceeded his expectations.
Suddenly, a sharp but not harsh chirping sound suddenly sounded, the sound was ethereal and profound, as if it came from ancient times...
